Chaperonin Hsp60/Hsp10 TRiC Chaperone Hsp70 Prefoldin GimC Chaperone Hsp40 Siegert Cell 2000 Chaperones and chaperonins (simplified overview)
Statement 1 : folding information in primary structure Experiment : identification of chaperonin GroEL substrates Houry Nature 1999 Many associated proteins, no common sequence = no molecular recognition but preferred size and a-b domains

GimC prefoldin Hsp60 chaperonin (bacterial) Statement 3 : Chaperones cooperate in compartmentalized pathways Vainberg Cell 1998 TRiC chaperonin actin
Statement 4 : Co-translational folding helped eukaryotes to develop multidomain proteins DHFR Ras Netzer Nature 1997
Some need chaperonin Most nascent chains interact with Hsp70 & Hsp40 Beginning of translation Integrated sequential pathway (prefoldin-chaperonin) Conclusion New chaperones still to discover? Coupling to translation? How is in vivo specificity achieved? Regulation and diseases due to misfolding? $one way folding process along translation?
